Hello all,
I was looking for any recommendations on some sort of baby carrier (wrap, sling, the exact brand and style, etc) that you found easy to use while breastfeeding.
Thanks!

Hi S.,
I loved the Moby wrap and also the Baby Bjorn. Both worked great and you can breastfeed in the moby too. I also liked the infantino sling rider when they are super little-you can breastfeed in that as well.
Good luck and congratulations on your new arrival coming!

I sew and made my own version of the Moby wrap. It works great for nursing.
i liked the ERGO (http://www.ergobabycarrier.com/) for breastfeeding. if you already had the babe on your front (opposed to your back) you just have to loosen the straps a bit and they are at boob level. there is even a little hoodie you can use for privacy. perfect! you can often find used ones on craigslist for a decent price. good luck!
I used the basic padded ring sling (around the house) and kangaroo fleece sling (good for cold winter). You can find both of them at kangarookorner.com. The Ergo was good also; it has been the most comfortable carrier for me since it distributes the weight on both shoulders. I found that it was a little trickier to switch sides nursing though in the Ergo than in the slings. Good luck and congratulations!
I have a few friends who use the Moby wrap and they have all said it is very convenient for nursing.
I had a Baby Bjorn when my girls were babies and could never quite get the hang of nursing with it, but I've heard it can be done. If I'd had a Moby, I think I'd have found it easier to deal with (it just seems a lot more adjustable).
